Komodo 5.2 Documentation

Welcome to the Komodo User Guide

Performance and Stability Improvements:
The underlying Mozilla source code has been updated in Komodo, which
has led to better security and stability of the Komodo platform as a
whole.
Numerous performance improvements have been made to Komodo to make it speedier
in the tasks it performs, especially with large files:

Komodo will now automatically style very large HTML documents
as text in order to support faster edits and re-displaying of the
document.

The Find search speed has been increased, making it faster to
search your documents.

The Rx Toolkit is now much faster when parsing results

The Rx Toolkit's matching is now performed out-of-process and it is
now possible to stop a running rx match

Primary language preferences: It is now possible to
configure which languages you'd like to see as primary languages in Komodo.
The primary languages are the first group of languages seen in the language
drop-down menus, whilst secondary languages are grouped under the
Other sub-menu.

Sub-language background colors: It is now possible to
give sub-languages a different background color. For example, when editing a
HTML file you can set the JavaScript background color to be green and all the
JavaScript code will appear as green section block within the editor.

View HTML Source: If you drag and drop a URL onto
Komodo (http://, https://), Komodo now offers to view the source
contents of this web page. This is convenient for checking the
underlying HTML source code of web pages.
